DRUGS have been seized and five people have been arrested after a series of swoops by police on houses in the Bedworth area.

The operation followed a successful campaign by members of the town’s East Safer Neighbourhood Team, who gained information and obtained search warrants.

Two people were arrested at two different addresses on Wordsworth Road, Bedworth.

Both were cautioned for offences of possession and cultivation of cannabis and eviction orders were also obtained from the borough council housing department.

A man living in Tresillian Road, Exhall, was arrested and charged with production of cannabis and received a suspended sentence as well as community punishment when he appeared before the magistrates court.

After a search of an address in Cadman Close, a man is now on police bail on suspicion of possession of a controlled drug with intent to supply.

The fifth warrant was in Leicester Road, Bulkington, and the occupier was bailed on suspicion of supplying a Class A drug, believed to be cocaine.
